Subject: bug#21858: package-initialize: no good in .emacs!
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2015 22:17:40 -0500 [thread overview]

Emacs 25’s package system liberally modified my ~/.emacs, adding a call do `package-initialize’.
What happens when I call emacs from the command line (as opposed to one installed elsewhere, like a GUI Emacs in /Applications)?

… because my command-line emacs is an older one, such as the one that comes with the latest version of OS X (Emacs 22).
This is not a good state of affairs...
